Which TV Episode Of A Series Got You Hooked On A Show?

From ads for dating websites popping in your newsfeed to Uber promotions in your inbox, we’re all aware that the Internet knows way more about you than you think.

This is also true for streaming services. Netflix took a look at the viewing habits of their subscribers and were actually able to pinpoint which episode made viewers think, “Oh, I gotta keep watching this show.”

From ‘Breaking Bad’ to ‘Arrow,’ Netflix determined when viewers got hooked. Surprisingly, many of them weren’t the pilot. Episode two of ‘Breaking Bad’ (when Jesse attempts to dissolve a body in his bathtub with disastrous results) had people addicted to the show. It wasn’t until episode 8 of ‘Arrow’ (when the Huntress ignores Oliver’s advice and kills the leader of the Triad) that got people on-board.

Of course, the data varies depending on the country. For example, viewers in Germany were totally hooked on ‘Arrow’ right at the beginning.

An inforgraphic was created for some of the popular TV shows on Netflix. If you notice, most people weren’t hooked on ‘Daredevil’ until episode five.

When did you get hooked on these TV shows? Does it fall in line with the infographic?

Becky used to play Power Rangers with her Barbies as a kid. She was a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series, probably because it came on before the Power Rangers. Currently, she is living in California, pursuing her dreams of becoming an actor/writer/Black Ops agent who only fights mean demons. She’s written for Funny or Die, as well as some jokes for TV shows that were too good to air. You can also see some of her sketches performed live at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles. They’re mostly about the Power Rangers.
